AWAY GAME
Harlow Layne
Release Date: February 4
Blurb
The plan was to move away and never look back.
Get away from him, out from under my father’s disapproving stare, and start a new life in Willow Bay.
It was supposed to be my fresh start, but instead my past followed me.
The one thing I desired and couldn’t have.
Weston Jackson.
I hated how he made me feel things that I couldn’t give into without turning my world upside down.
I wanted to make him pay.
For the way my father now looked at me. For the way I saw myself.
But most of all… for wanting him the way I did.
This is a full-length high school and college enemies-to-lovers and new adult romance with high angst, suspense, and gutting emotion. It's book one in the Willow Bay series that will have interlinking storylines. Away Game can be read as a standalone and starts off a four-book planned series. This is the only MM story. The others are MF.
Review
I don’t know what it is about MM sports romances that draw me in so much, but it’s one of my favorites genres. Add in angst and I’m sold! While this is an enemies-to-lovers book, Fin was mostly conscious of why he was treating West the way he was and it didn’t take too long for him to get over it. That being said, the push and pull and tension between Fin & West was palpable.
After a run in over winter break that left Fin reeling, West & Fin manage to avoid each other until they come face to face in the shared house of their college football team. Forced into close proximity, everyone around them can feel the tension. Fin’s coping mechanism is to insult and bully West, but being around him constantly forces him to own up to his to his feelings to himself.
After several unfortunate situations occur, Fin is left with no choice but to forget about caring what his father thinks of him and take control of his life in the only way he can. My favorite part of this genre is when the hero in denial finally gives in so I loved seeing them finally come together. Despite the hell Fin put him through, West was always there for Fin. Their support group throughout the book was such a joy to watch. I can’t wait to see their group all get their happy endings!
